Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is a communication layer designed to enable compatible web applications to interact with Trezor hardware wallets. It helps establish communication between your Trezor device and supported browser-based applications when direct browser connectivity is unavailable.
Trezor Bridge works in the background to facilitate communication between your computer, browser, and Trezor hardware wallet. Sensitive operations remain protected by the hardware wallet, where transaction confirmations are performed directly on the device.
When a compatible application needs to communicate with your Trezor device, the connection layer helps relay requests between the browser and the connected hardware wallet.
The general connection process is:
Connect your Trezor device to your computer.
Open a supported Trezor application or web interface.
Allow the application to connect to your Trezor device.
Confirm sensitive actions directly on your Trezor device.
Your Trezor hardware wallet is designed to keep private keys protected on the device. Transaction signing and other sensitive confirmations are performed on the hardware wallet rather than exposing your recovery credentials to a website.
Always verify that you are using an authentic Trezor website or application before connecting your device or approving an action.
Trezor Suite provides the primary interface for managing Trezor devices and digital assets. Trezor's documentation also describes different connectivity methods for the web version, including WebUSB and Trezor Bridge where applicable.
Never enter your recovery seed, wallet backup words, PIN, or other sensitive credentials into a website or support form. Trezor's official guidance recommends obtaining Trezor software from its official website rather than unverified third-party sources.
If your Trezor device is not detected, check your USB connection, make sure you are using the latest supported Trezor software, and consult the official Trezor support documentation for current troubleshooting guidance.
Use the official Trezor website and official Trezor Suite software when setting up or managing your hardware wallet. Avoid downloading wallet software or connection tools from unofficial websites.
